I was going to say the same thing since the picture shows it installed on a Skyline. But I bet if it's close like the stock housing you could dent it in to clear.

Mckinney mounts don't make any difference with the s14... i'm using their mounts and have their "down pipe"... the down pipe wouldn't match up to the turbo elbow... and since the steering shaft was rubbing on the turbo elbow, i'm just having one fabricated that clears the shaft and matches to that dammn down pipe

oK you can see the steering shaft right next to the housing on the exhaust side, judging by this picture you should have no problem with clearance using that outlet.
